cnn has just called the house for the democrats

update #4:

fox calls the house for the dems...

ohhh it had to hurt when they clicked send on that email!

update #5:

msnbc is now projecting the democrats take 235 seats to the republicans 200. that is some amazing wiggle room for the democrats. it is also an amazing win when you consider how much gerrymandering played into the house elections for the past few cycles.

for the full run down go to the dccc site.

Lets wait for final results..

My name is Mark Johnson, and I've been visiting your site for past few months

I’m a recent UC Berkeley Political science grad and I along with some fellow Princeton alums have been working hard to launch our own internet startup called Rizzleweb.com.
Rizzleweb is basically an online political community where people can log on and write performance reviews\comments for congressmen, senators, the president, and various other local and state officials across the country. I was hoping that if it would not be too much trouble you could place a link of our site on your blog. If this is not possible (which we completely understand), we still hope you will check out our site, and post some reviews.
Your contribution will encourage us to put more effort in improving our website.
